Online PDF preflight solutions

[mattbeals]

For the price, speed, platform support, level of detail and flexibility in reporting it's pretty inexpensive at $3,250. If you're in an ASP model then it gets expensive.

But all of the callas tools in the CLI suite, pdfInspektor, pdfCorrect, pdfColorConvert and pdfImpose can be integrated as I described into a website.

I found this, but really don't know much about it except it's free. Maybe someone can give some input.

Why not use the preflight built into acrobat?

Well it would make things a lot easier. Adobe went to a lot of trouble to put Callas pdfInspektor into Adobe Acrobat Pro 6 and above.

The original thread asked for "online" preflight tools. Acrobat has never been licensed for Server use, and their server tools are confusing, expensive, and seem to frequently change names and pricing models.

[mattbeals]

My point was to have customers preflight the files with acrobat pro before they upload. And if that isn't practical for whatever reason then you can always use callas pdfInspektor CLI in the website itself.

Problem solved...
